ipetoipe1

Convert between ipe file formats

Usage

ipetoipe {( -pdf | -xml ) options input-file [output-file]}

Overview

ipetoipe converts between the two Ipe file formats XML and PDF. Options are:

-pdf

convert to PDF format

-xml

convert to XML format

-export

do not include Ipe markup in the output file.
Warning: this means that Ipe will not be able to read the resulting output file.

-pages from-to

restrict exporting to PDF to this page range. This implies the -export option.

-view page-view

only export this single view from the document. This implies the -export option.

-markedview

create a PDF page only for the marked views of marked Ipe pages. This is for instance convenient for making handouts for slides used in a presentation. This implies the -export option.

-runlatex

run Latex even for XML output. This has the effect of including the dimensions of each text object in the XML file.

-nozip

do not compress streams in PDF or Postscript output.

Environment

ipetoipe respects the following environment variables:

IPELATEXDIR

the directory where ipetoipe runs Pdflatex.

IPELATEXPATH

the directory containing pdflatex and xelatex. If not set, they are searched for on the path.

IPEDEBUG

set this to 1 for debugging output.
